A tipster writes of the cuts at Yahoo: "Maria Hinge, the VP for emerging European markets, got laid off on Friday. She's credited with rolling out services in Turkey, Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic. However, her reports always thought she was more adept at 'rolling' with the European management team." Come on, people. "Rolling?" Does anyone actually say that? Next we're going to hear that Toby Coppel was swinging with the flippity-flop.

I worked with Hinge and her bestest friend Betty Swollocks. Those two injected plenty of passion into the European offices and they will be missed.
It's a reference to her involvement with the 90s rave culture and Ecstacy. She never made the switch to OC-80.
VP for emerging markets... at WHICH company??
(Obviously Yahoo, but it's sloppy to leave it out)
Yeah, leaving out the Yahoo mention shows how obsessed VWag is with the Sunnyvale company. Get over it. Stop obsessing over the severance package details, especially.
@OaklandTechie: Thanks for the catch, fixed.
So, Yahoo gets Un-Hinged.
Sounds like Hinge was a real swinger, geddit?
